In Top-Down construction for underground structures, the placement of slab as a horizontal supporting member against lateral earth pressure is an important process in determining construction time and cost. Usually, a reinforced concrete perimeter girder distributes concentrated lateral loads from earth retaining structures such as Cast-in-place (CIP) piles. By combining the function of the R/C perimeter girder and horizontal slabs, the Opened Slab Method is efficient for reducing construction time by elimination of time-consuming formwork for traditional perimeter girders. The structural performance of the method is also discussed in this paper.

Shear wall-frame system is one of the most, if not the most, popular system for resisting lateral loads. The core is the primary lateral load-resisting systems, the perimeter frame is designed for gravity loads, and the connection between perimeter frame and core is generally a shear connection. Specially, single plate shear connection have gained considerable popularity in recent years due to their ease of fabrication and erection. Single plate shear connection should be designed to satisfy the dual criteria of shear strength and rotational ductility. An experimental program was undertaken to evaluate seismic behavior of single plate shear connection. The main test variable is the reinforcing detail of connection. Through the experimental program, the cyclic behavior of typical and reinforcing single plate shear connection was established.

Building construction in downtown is ever increasing with a strong demand. Top-Down Method is one of suitable construction method for its advantage in minimizing disturbance to neighborhood. Along with these reasons construction site has developed lots of new methods and materials for Time-Cost Trade-off and improving constructability. Opened Slab is one of these method which resist the horizontal force by slab and it has many merit about construction time and unity. We analyze the compression tests on opened slab for the application.

In recent years, construction site has developed lots of new methods and materials for Time-Cost Trade-off and improving constructability. In the case of underground construction, especially, there are many restrictions and difficulties. Shortening of the construction time in construction of underground, we use top-down method in undergroud wall. A open slab has been designed for the purpose of overcoming a weak point of former top-down method. This study based on open slab on the under ground top-down method, to more improve constructability, to introduce the effect and the performance of top-down method.
